2019 has been a busy year in term of important B2B event, from JEC World to Space Tech, including the major one: Le Bourget, Surfeo attended many trade shows. We covered every market segment in order to get the best opportunities of business and latest market trends for our customer.
The aerospace industry continues to find every year new applications for additive manufacturing.
Whether it is being utilized for making prototypes and parts at lower costs or for creating designs unachievable with traditional manufacturing, 3D printing has nowhere to go but up.
GE has one of the best-known cases of incorporating of 3D printing into the manufacture of jet engines. In 2016, the company created the fuel nozzles for its new LEAP family of engines using direct metal laser melting. This turns thin layers of metal powders into fully solid metal parts using a laser to melt the powder where the designers want the parts to solidify.
3D printing allowed for the weight of the nozzles to be reduced by 25 percent, the number of the parts used to create the nozzle to be reduced from 18 to 1, and more intricate cooling pathways and supports, giving the nozzle a five-fold increase in durability.
Surfeo attended Aerospace additive manufacturing Toulouse
One area of focus shared by a variety of aerospace companies is the creation of engines using 3D printing techniques, and this is true from jet turbines to rocket engines.
To discuss this main and current topic, more than 400 attendees, from more than 200 companies and covering the entire aerospace supply chain management will meet and discuss tomorrow manufacturing solution. Aerospace Additive Manufacturing Summit Toulouse offers a must-attend workshop program. These are excellent opportunities for professionals to share experiences and better comprehend the market scientific, industrial, technical and commercial evolutions.
Many topics will be discussed as:
Trends in the additive manufacturing market in Europe and worldwide
Vision of the major European OEMs on the use of Additive Manufacturing in future programs
Contribution of Third Party 1 and OEMs in the development of the use of Additive Manufacturing technologies
· Technological barriers that need to be removed to accelerate the introduction of additive manufacturing technologies
· What devices and aids to integrate additive manufacturing technologies into the production process?
